Everyone in America should experience this Basilica. This Cathedral is 1/6 the actual size of Notre Dame in Paris. So next time you are in this neck of the woods stop in and be in awe. You don't know what you are missing

The museum was informative and meaningful. Its reliance on anecdotes and personal stories from local survivors in the Cincinnati area strengthens the experience of learning about the horrific events of the Holocaust by adding local and personal connections. An excellent visit, and an important part of history explored.

If you get a chance to see "Drowsy Chaperone" at the Incline Theater, don't miss it. Very nice theater. Lots of seat room. Convenient parking for $5. Go across the street to Primavista or the Incline Public House for a meal. The "Drowsy Chaperone" is hilarious and nicely staged. Good music and funny gags.

This is a very unique and historic Greek Revival cathedral. The stations of the cross are painted in the style of ancient Greek vases and there is lots of exquisite marble and dark wood throughout. The sanctuary mosaic is very striking and one of the largest in the country. Definitely take a few minutes to visit this beautiful church when in downtown Cincinnati.
